Hi all, I've got this re-occuring problem with win me...almost every time I reboot this comp, it looses the ide cd drives, I guess it is a good thing that the hdd is on the raid controler..otherwise it probably wouldn't boot at all.
I went to intel and donloaded the inf update, but winme won't install it, because win me is supposed to support the chipset(i440bx), and the like.
So far, the only thing I have been able to do is install the inf drivers that came with the mobo. The person that owns this comp will have to wait till after the income tax check comes b4 she can upgrade to winXP.
The system is an Abit BE6-II v2, generic ram, maxtor 10g hdd,sb live 24bit,and a crappy video card (SIS 32mb sdram).
The cd drives are jumpered correctly, and recoknised in the p.o.s.t.
I even created a restore point, right after getting everything going, and restored to that point, and the problem still exists.
Until she can afford to upgrade, I need to keep this POS running, but I'm getting more frustrated every day, having to come back to fix something I fixed already.
Any and all help would be greatfully apreciated and thanks in advance for your replies
